Riders:Amanda SeddonBryan Charleston Chris Walters David Ryan Dean Douglas Frank Schroer Janet Charleston John Tranter Nick Dunton Paul Ryan Peter Busby Tony Smith Riders = 12 Report:It was a hilly one! 11 set out and picked Frank up along the wa -, a few normal 3* "regulars" hearing it was hilly, decided to do the 2* ride. Out through Wantage where the first hill was met head on - Court Hill.The descent down to Woolley Cross wasn't quite so good, into the wind, but we all managed to have a good roll off the Ridgeway. The little (but hard) climb towards Brightwalton followed, with the glorious little descent down past Woolley Barns - lovely bends just asking to be taken at speed. We regrouped and then climbed up to the B4494, finishing off with the Chain Hill descent, with a little tailwind. My computer showed a touch under 80 km/h on the descent - loads of fun! Top marks to the Ryan boys for showing everyone else how to climb, and to Peter for really digging deep on his first hilly ride of the season. | ||
